[Amforth] unspecified base in device/X/X.frt files

[Erich W. <ew....@na...>]

Hi,

to maybe save others some time debugging ...

I do upload the file amforth/releases/4.x/$device/$device.frt
onto the controller. Moving a working program from amforth
4.6 to amforth 4.9 revealed, that there is a change in these
files.

4.6:
hex
...
2B constant PORTD

4.9
...
43 constant PORTD

The address of PORTD is still $2b, just written in decimal,
however, there is no "decimal" at the beginning of the file,
nor a &-prefix, both of which would not have caused me any
grief. Adding "decimal" at the beginning of this file made
my program work again.

So, should there be a "decimal", or should there be prefixes?
And shouldn't these addresses be in hex notation anyway?

I vote for hex notation with prefixes.

Cheers,
Erich
